Occupational Therapy

The Occupational Therapist offers support and advice to children or adults where there is concern about their independence or quality of life. This therapist uses work or play activities with the aim of enhancing independence and minimising or preventing the impact of a physical or emotional disability.

The Occupational Therapist can:

assess an individual's perception, motor skills and awareness;
adapt a person's environment;
develop a treatment program tailored to a person's lifestyle;
provide aids (e.g. feeding equipment, furniture adaptations) to help accommodate physical disabilities
